    Procurement Solutions for Purchasing Goods and Services

     

    The University requires faculty, staff and students to utilize the options in University Business Services (UBS) to procure purchases of allowable goods and services for official University use.  Below are examples of the options available through UBS:

    • HuskyBuy
    • Purchase Orders or Disbursement Vouchers
    • Procurement Card (PCard)
    • Travel (T&E) Cards while in travel status

    For any purchases made outside of the payment option listed above UConn will only reimburse/approve the following:

    • Business meals purchased locally in compliance with the Travel and Entertainment Policy
    • Registration for conferences, including virtual conferences
    • Emergency purchases where normal procurement options were not available. 
      • Documentation on why normal procurement options were not available must be provided
      • Subject to final review and approval by Accounts Payable
